The trash was not emptied in the cans outside. We had stayed there before and we had the same issue. The owner responded that day however the problem wasn’t taken care of until the next day and they just brought an extra garbage can. There wasn’t any instructions for check out on the property but the owner responded with instructions per my request. The cottage was beautiful two years ago when we stayed but this time it looked like a bare minimum of upkeep was given. The floor in the kitchen had groves in it so it was almost impossible to move the chair after you sat down. The beautiful chairs on the front porch were broken in the back and hard to sit in. I killed a palmetto bug in the kitchen and I had never seen bugs there before. Just little things that added up. The owner was very prompt in his response and very accommodating in our check in and check out time. The property just needs attention in my opinion.

Cutest place
We were so close to a park and all the things. We had so much fun watching our grandson play in the park and yard! The porch was amazing! We will be back!

Horrible
Don’t quit your day job. Stunk from the time we walked in till the time we left. No pets on furniture? I was afraid to get on the furniture. Lucky we brought our own bedding because theirs were bad body odor smelling. Water stunk. Could not drink. Shower horrible. Nauseauting smell would never ever go here let alone recommend for others.

My experience
It was a very pleasant experience as the house, even though it is small, is very cosy and in a peaceful countryside atmosphere.
